hi

I've been modifying some of the template files and the last change I did was to remove the {debug} command from the layout.tpl file. I uploaded back to the site and the home page now comes up blank. The source code is showing as;

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

I've looked through the foums and seen a similar post which suggests it is a host problem. But I have other sites running other scripts with no problems on the same host.

Luckily the site is not live and I have been setting this site up for about 4 weeks now with no problems

Have checked the file sizes and permissions and they look OK, have also tried in different browsers with no luck.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks in advance

Am using 4.1.4 designer

Did you clear your template cache?

seymourjames + · 07-09-2009, 07:24 PM

You haven't created an empty index.html file have you in your root directory? This could account for the blank page.

hi larry, yes have cleared the template cache through maintenance screen and cleared the /cache folder.

FYI: the administration part of the site works fine, I have also noticed that if i try to take the site offline through admin I still get the same result.

hi seymourjames

Nope, have checked for my own sanity but there isn't one in the root and I still get the same result when accessing /index.php

hi

Have just tried changing the template theme through admin and still coming up blank, this makes me think that the changes i did to the 3col template were not the cause.

hi

I'll have to hold my hands up to this one. I added some text to the english.php language file which included an apostrophe. Removed the apostrophe and all is well. I should have known better!

just an fyi, you should be able tuse html entities to represent the characters that cause problems in the language file.
